lol still can't get as low as I'd like with the teins but until I could afford something new like BCs or another with custom spring rates this will do.

No it's not...
is it?
If so, you're my hero...I LOVE that style F100. 53-55? Am I way off?
Actually, grill doesn't look Ford...but either way. Hell yes and please tell me you're going to just do satin clear over that patina.

And lower than you are? Your sickness is bad...the Teins, being a monotube rides a lot smoother than the dual tube separate preload brand ones...you might feel like your car is a pos slamming all over the place and harsh. Just consider it.

at first I thought it was an international but it is indeed a 50's ford. tried talking my step father into the project but frame is rusted out and lacking a motor so well will see. as far as the teins go I have modified them to go as low as possible and amazingly they ride great still lol. definitely gunna look into some custom spring rates but for now I'm really digging the setup especially with the addition of the spacers. will need to go more aggressive with my next wheel setup tho lol

your chase for perfection may drive you insane. I think the baking process in the oven accelerates the breakdown in the plastic...including those cracks.

It's not hard, it's just annoying, but if all you're doing is a lens swap, it's a 2 hour job including removal from car.

yea I think the clear coat JnC used aided in the UV rays in causing the cracks so no more clear for me, and wanna see what happeneds. I'll have to hit u up when I'm ready I def have questions and wanna make sure I have se butyl ordered before I attempt it unless u don't think I'll need it

sure...i've got a tip for you.

seriously though...wet your fingers, butyl won't stick to them.
order some...take your time and use a flathead to clear the channel of the old stuff...run a small thin uniform unbroken small bead in the channel...head it up, press together, clamp em down...done.

start at outer corner, there's a clip that has to grab, then press together toward center of car portion...

sick!!

I wonder how come you aint get much love at the meet? Evertyime I see a TL in my area I'm pumped (none are even modded lol) I feel like the 3g just kinda fly under the radar a bit. Everyone wants to see mad imports or newer cars with all the gadgets and what not but the 3g will always be a classy looking car with a nice amount of power and can be modded in many diff ways..... But whats in that teal hatch for a motor?

thats brutal dude. Maybe if you had sideways rear wheels and ultra stretched tires you mighta got some looks

I happen to really like your TL! And I LOVE CBP! I wouldn't worry about it, us TL guys know a clean TL when we see one. I find it strange though, like I literally get compliments every other day about my TL and I'm not even lowered and got stock Type S wheels lol but then again its a small city and not a whole lot of modded cars in my parts.

Where did you get that front lip under the bumper? I want one lol
